Duration: 3 Days

This course package is designed to give each technician in-depth training on the entire Performance Transmission drivetrain and to give a basic understanding of the operation and overhaul of Spicer® Heavy-Duty Drive Axles, including all DS series and S Series Heavy-Duty Tandem Axles. This package includes the following courses: Fuller® Performance Transmission Service Training, Spicer® Heavy-Duty Drive Axle Service Training, and Failure Investigation and Analysis Service Training.

During the axle classroom portion, technicians will be exposed to the theory of operation, power flow, wheel differential systems, and an in-depth review of inter-axle differentials. Technicians will review a descriptive failure analysis section consisting of various axle components and what causes them.

During the Performance Transmission classroom portion, technicians will be exposed to basic operation of the drivetrain, gear life theory, and product lubrication requirements, while also addressing product specific failure modes. Maintenance and basic troubleshooting techniques will be discussed as well.

Upon completion of the classroom presentations, the overhaul portion will continue into a hands-on tear down and reassembly of the DS-404 and the S-170/190 models using the correct tools and techniques. In addition, a hands-on tear down and reassembly of different components of the performance transmission drivetrain will take place.
